After Chang Yanliang decided to stand on the side of the Yan family, he and Yan Xueyi continued to discuss some cooperation matters, and the follow-up Chang clan people will also return to Siqi one after another, if the Yan clan erects an anti-flag, the Chang clansmen who follow the Yan clan will also be hunted down by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is the best choice to come back to Siqi.

After everything was negotiated, Yan Xueyi prepared to return.
However, as soon as Yan Xueyi left the Yan Mansion, he felt that several sneaky figures were monitoring the Chang Mansion, and the corners of Yan Xueyi's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart said that the way back would not be so boring.
"Let's go, go home." Yan Xueyi and his entourage galloped away, and the sneaky figures outside Changfu also left quickly, not knowing where to report the news.
Dozens of miles out of Ningyuan Mansion City, Yan Xueyi found the first wave of enemies, there were tripwires buried in front of the road, and there were six or seven hundred people in ambush on both sides of the road, and some of them even held old-fashioned firearms such as shotguns and flintlock pistols in their hands, although the power was not great, but Yan Xueyi didn't want these broken things to hit his own people.
"Stop, there's an ambush ahead." As soon as Yan Xueyi waved his hand, more than 100 people stopped, and each of them took out two revolvers from their waists, and more than 100 people took out more than 200 revolvers, and even Yan Xueyi took out two revolvers.
When the people in the ambush in front saw Yan Xueyi and his party stop, they immediately knew that they had been discovered, and a few people who seemed to be the leaders scolded and ordered all their subordinates to go out.
"Brothers, the one in the middle is the patriarch of the Yan clan, if we catch him, we can eat and drink spicy food in the future." One of the leaders shouted.
"Kill."
"Protect the Lord, call me." The commander of the cavalry company guarding Yan Xueyi gave the battle order.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
I saw countless bullets shooting towards the enemy who rushed over, and the enemies were shot and fell to the ground, and soon a groan sounded, Yan Xueyi's marksmanship was the most accurate, and every bullet exploded an enemy's head.
The leaders were all at the back, and when they saw that the situation was wrong, they quickly ran away, as long as they ran into the woods, it was safe, and some of the little minions saw that the boss had run away, and they themselves also fled, but they didn't run a few steps before they were hit by bullets.
"The third platoon stays to protect the lord, and the first and second platoons follow me, don't let go of an enemy."
"Yes." The three platoon commanders said in unison.
More than 100 people were divided into two teams, the brigade pursued the fleeing enemy, and the squad stayed to protect Yan Xueyi, Yan Xueyi had no objection to this arrangement, Yan Xueyi would not reveal his strength at will, and let the commander of the cavalry company arrange it.
The battle was a one-sided slaughter, in which the enemy, armed with broadswords, spears and even outdated firearms, was unilaterally slaughtered by cavalrymen armed with revolvers and could not resist at all.
Soon, most of the six or seven hundred people were wiped out, leaving only a few alive to be brought to Yan Xueyi, one of whom was still the leader of the enemy.
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." The leader of the enemy was brought to Yan Xueyi and knelt directly on the ground crying and begging for mercy.
"Whose person are you?" Yan Xueyi asked, Yan Xueyi could see that the people in ambush should be Manchu officers and soldiers, but he didn't know which part it was.
"The small one is under the command of Lord Lin Chengji of Yazhou Mansion." In order to save his life, the leader of this group of officers and soldiers told the truth and did not dare to tell a lie in the slightest.
"Oh, I remember him, kill them all, don't leave them alive." Yan Xueyi said.
"Yes, Lord." The company commander received the order.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm an officer and soldier, how dare you grass people kill me." Hearing Yan Xueyi's words, the leader of the officers and soldiers immediately said in a panic, but the next moment a bullet ended his life.
The cavalry company was scattered, replenishing the guns of each enemy, but I didn't expect that some of them were really pretending to be dead.
After making sure that there was no live mouth, the group continued on the road, Yan Xueyi knew that there would be no less ambush on this road, fortunately, the cavalry company brought enough ammunition this time, plus Yan Xueyi was able to find the enemy in advance, otherwise it is really difficult to say how many of these more than 100 people can return safely.
After destroying four waves of enemies along the way, Yan Xueyi and his party entered Linyue County, and it was much safer to arrive in Linyue County, everyone knew that Linyue County was the Yan clan's sphere of influence, who dared to blatantly intercept and kill the Yan clan patriarch in Linyue County, isn't this looking for death?
Yan Xueyi returned safely, although the group encountered several ambushes, but none of them were attritional, only a few people were accidentally injured, which is also fortunate that Yan Xueyi was able to find out in advance where the enemy was ambushing.
Yan Xueyi returned to Yan's mansion, and Chang Yuxin and Xiao Mei's tense faces finally showed a smile.
"Husband, you're back." Chang Yuxin and Xiao Meiqi said.
"When I returned safely, I met a few little thieves on the road, and your husband and I were so powerful that we were killed in a few shots." Yan Xueyi took Chang Yuxin and Xiao Mei's hands and returned to the house, and said some things that happened on the road, of course, they were made up, if they were serious, I don't know what the two girls would be scared of, and I can't say that I will check Yan Xueyi's body to see if there are any injuries.
"Xin'er, my father-in-law agrees to stand on our side." Yan Xueyi said to Chang Yuxin.
Yan Xueyi knew that Chang Yuxin had been worried about this matter, on one side was her father, and on the other hand was her husband, and she didn't know what to do.
"Hmm." Hearing the good news from Yan Xueyi's mouth, Chang Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally would not see the day when her husband and his father would meet each other.
……
Yan Xueyi eliminated five ambushed enemies along the way, and scared the people behind these five forces into a cold sweat, but he didn't expect that these more than 100 people were so strong.
However, it is impossible for so many of his subordinates to be killed like this, especially Lin Chengji, the Yazhou Mansion, who has never been able to swallow this breath, so he gave a note to the top, in which dozens of Yan's crimes were written, such as Yan's private possession of firearms, training private soldiers, killing officers and soldiers, etc., hoping that the above can be a major crime such as rebellion by Yan, and the Yan family will be beheaded to level Lin Chengji's heart.
Lin Chengji's twists and turns were quickly sent to the capital.
At the same time, Chang Yanliang began to gather the clansmen of the Chang clan to return to Siqi, the clansmen of the Chang clan also mainly live in the territory of Siqi Province, there are not too many people outside, and there are almost no officials, under the order of Chang Yanliang, the patriarch, the Chang clan people quickly sold their property and returned to Siqi Province, you must know that Chang Yanliang's message to the clansmen is: If you don't come back, you will be expelled from the family, which is the most serious punishment for the children of the big family, so in order not to be expelled from the family, the clansmen have returned.
Some angry Chang clan members wanted to question Chang Yanliang why they gave up a good life to come back, but they didn't dare to question the patriarch's orders, Chang Yanliang's authority was still there.
In the end, Chang Yanliang just explained to the clansmen who didn't understand what was going on: "You'll know after a while." ”
